Hello,
I have disc partitioned like this:
1st partition - 100 MB created during WINDOWS 7 installation (automaticaly)
2nd partition - 50GB WIN 7 files (created during win. installation
3rd partition - 60GB this is a copy of the 2nd partition (copy and resized) after win7 and SW installing
Now I want to select which WIN to load. But I need to hide the other win (hide partition).
The EasyBoot cannot do this (hide partition), so I've installed NoeGrub but without success.
I can boot both windows with EasyBoot menu. I added the copied win as next menu item and after some registry change it finally start up. So both are working.
For neogrup I created script:
title Win 1
hide (hd0,2)
unhide (hd0,1)
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
boot
title Win 2
hide (hd0,1)
unhide (hd0,2)
root (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
boot
If I select WIN 1 or WIN2 it stops with bootmgr is missing.
I think I know why this happens, please correct me if I'm wrong.
On the 1st. (100MB) partition there are all the booting files they can load windows and If I select neogrub item
from easyboot menu it starts negrub loader. This loader directs the booting to one of the MBR of win. partition that I select in neogub menu.
The record in the partition MBR (if there is any) direct booting to bootmgr file on the partition. But there is no one. it is on the 100MB partition
So the error message bootmgr is missing.
I think If I add the files to both partitions it will boot. But how to add them? I tried bootrec /fixmbr and it seems it did nothing or fix it on the 100MB partition
Thank You for any help
